Vitamin C Tablets Hair Dye Remover
We've all heard of using lemon juice to lighten hair naturally in the sun. Many of us with blonde hair will have also, at some point, combed tomato ketchup through our lengths to get the tell-tale green tinge from chlorine out.
But what about crushing up vitamin C tablets and mixing them into anti-dandruff shampoo, to remove semi-permanent hair dye?
Chances are you haven't heard of that one. It is a thing though, and the hack seems to go back to 2017 when YouTuber Ladee Lyon first uploaded a how-to video on using the strange combination of ingredients to lighten or remove her semi-permanent colour.
The hack has since been picked up by other influencers looking for ways to go back to their natural shades, and Superdrug has now written a how-to guide on using anti-dandruff shampoo and vitamin C tablets to get rid of old or unwanted colour.
And according to Superdrug, the method is pretty simple…
Start by crushing five to ten of Superdrug's Vitamin C Tablets, £2.69 here, with a pestle and mortar – or whatever crushing instrument you have available. Then mix a two pence size blob of anti-dandruff shampoo like Elvive Phytoclear Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, £4.99 here, into the crushed tablets to form a paste.
Slather this paste over your full head of dry, or slightly damp hair, like you would a hair mask – or just coat your ends if you only have the dye there. Wait for 45-60 minutes before washing the paste out with your normal shampoo and conditioner routine.
If the colour isn't quite gone, you can repeat the steps again – but best wait 48 hours in between the treatments, to minimise drying out your lengths.
It's not just bright colours this hack seems to work on, either. One Pinterest user claims: "I dyed my hair medium brown and it went black so I had to try and find a way of lightening it quickly without damaging it further or having to wait a long time, and found this. It really did work and lightened my hair about a shade or two lighter!"
While there's no denying this dye removal trick seems to work for some, we asked Gorka Arraras, creative director at Charles Worthington Salons, to give his take on the home hack – and understandably he's not convinced.
"I've seen the hype on the vitamin C method, but be aware that the results you get will be very inconsistent and uneven, if application isn't perfect.
"You also don't know the level of damage your hair might have, so it's always best to see a professional for a colour assessment. But with salons still shut for a few weeks, I would recommend those really wanting to remove colour, miss out the vitamin C and slowly fade the colour with washing up liquid or just an anti-dandruff shampoo."
So there you have it – crush away, but at your own risk.
